"The economic downturn is having its effect on the careers of lawyers just as it is on so many professions.

Thomas Wells Jr. "The Economic Recovery Resources Web Portal compiles the ABA's vast resources for professional and personal development in a single online site. I encourage lawyers to take advantage of the many tools available here."
